I purchased this one at Kobo during a recent Open Road Media promotion on true crime titles for $1.99 each (now back to full price, but sometimes they repeat their sale titles and of course it's couponable if you manage to score a really good code in one of the contests):

The Blooding, the story of the discovery of DNA identification in England and its use in solving the Narborough village murders, by Joseph Wambaugh (Wikipedia), who writes it in the style of one of his police procedural novels.

Disclaimer: I have not gotten around to reading it yet, but it's said to be very good and garnered a lot of review praise (blurbed on the ORM product page) when it first came out in 1989.

(ETA: still lingering at $1.76 for Canadians in the Amazon store, may have comparable pricing for US persons)
